They have similar programs with retired greyhounds.

Same thing I was thinking, but I doubt it.

Those kind of programs are normally really good for the prisoners and the horses. I'm assuming he's a friendly horse because they don't typically let people inexperienced with horses handle horses that are unruly.

The one I heard about is at a prison in Michigan. They actually ship greyhounds from FL to this prison, usually the dogs that aren't as well behaved and aren't ready for adoption. The prisoners train the dogs and I guess the dogs train the prisoners. When the dogs come back, they are ready for adoption.

Sorry Buffy, I just realized you were talking about SYD.

If SYD goes to the Ocala prison program for the TRF it is associated with a
women's prison in Fla. So you ladies go out break the law so you can enroll
in this prison program so you can see him.

Thanks Echo. I like the one paragraph about the intense debating
on the bulletin board about his retirement. Finally some real good
news about SYD. Maybe it was our constant forum postings that
got this done, you never know. Maybe us on DT can sponsor him as
a whole. I think it will be great
